I know I&#8217;ve been neglecting the blog lately, what with all kinds of other WoW obligations and some RL obligations too, so I figured at least this will get me to post daily. :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 01 &#8211; Introduce Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi, my name is Kurnmogh, but you can (and should) call me Kurn. Please do not call me Madrana, even though that&#8217;s the character I play on more often than not, nor any derivations thereof. Kurn is just fine, please and thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a female 30-something-year-old Montrealer who has been playing WoW since before I was <em>in<\/em> my 30s. I&#8217;m finishing up a sociology degree from a university here in Montreal and I do some contract work to do with web stuff, both design\/coding and the online community aspect.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m the guild master and healing lead of Apotheosis, an Alliance raiding guild on the Eldre&#8217;Thalas (US) server and spend a lot of time healing in raids as a holy paladin. I still love my hunter to bits and pieces, though, but I realized at the start of Wrath that being a DPS doesn&#8217;t satisfy me the way playing a healer does.<\/p>\n<p>I love to write in my spare time. Does this surprise the frequent visitors out there? I think I&#8217;m pretty much known for my absolutely epic-length posts (both blog and forum variety) possibly more than I am known for any paladin expertise I may hold. Sadly, I don&#8217;t get to do this as much as I&#8217;d like to, due to the aforementioned &#8220;guild master&#8221; title, but I am definitely a writer at heart.<\/p>\n<p>I also watch a stupid amount of television, usually not at the same time as it actually airs. Current shows I&#8217;m watching weekly include, but are not limited to: Castle, How I Met Your Mother (a guild favourite!), V, Glee, The Big Bang Theory, Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, 30 Rock, Survivor: Redemption Island and I occasionally keep an eye on House and Desperate Housewives. I just finished watching Season 1 of Community and am trying to catch up on Season 2. I also catch as many Montreal Canadiens hockey games as possible, which is probably about 35% or so of them, primarily because they play a LOT of games on raid nights.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I guess that&#8217;s sufficient for now! Much more and there won&#8217;t be a lot left for the next 19 days! :)<\/p>\n<p><em>Tomorrow &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=1729\" target=\"_blank\">Why you Decided to Start a Blog<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I read over at Dwarven Battle Medic that Fannon is taking part in a blogging challenge that Saga of Spellbound came up with.
